Dopamine signaling negatively regulates striatal phosphorylation of Cdk5 at tyrosine 15 in mice.
Striatal functions depend on the activity balance between the dopamine and glutamate neurotransmissions. Glutamate inputs activate cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (Cdk5), which inhibits postsynaptic dopamine signaling by phosphorylating DARPP-32 (dopamine- and

Stability of MDS-UPDRS Motor Subtypes Over Three Years in Early Parkinson's Disease
Background: Various classifications have been proposed to subtype Parkinson's disease (PD) based on their motor phenotypes. However, the stability of these subtypes has not been properly evaluated.Objective: The goal of this study was to understand the ...

Parkinson's disease dementia: a neural networks perspective. [PDF]
In the long-term, with progression of the illness, Parkinson's disease dementia affects up to 90% of patients with Parkinson's disease. With increasing life expectancy in western countries, Parkinson's disease dementia is set to become even more ...

Aberrant functional connectivity within the basal ganglia of patients with Parkinson's disease
Resting state functional MRI (rs-fMRI) has been previously shown to be a promising tool for the assessment of early Parkinson's disease (PD). In order to assess whether changes within the basal ganglia network (BGN) are disease specific or relate to ...

Parkinson's disease: autoimmunity and neuroinflammation [PDF]
Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disease that causes the death of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra. The resulting dopamine deficiency in the basal ganglia leads to a movement disorder that is characterized by classical parkinsonian ...

Predicting motor, cognitive & functional impairment in Parkinson's
Objective We recently demonstrated that 998 features derived from a simple 7‐minute smartphone test could distinguish between controls, people with Parkinson's and people with idiopathic Rapid Eye Movement sleep behavior disorder, with mean sensitivity ...

Impact of Neu-botulinumtoxinA on the Severity and Quality of Life of Cervical Dystonia Patients
Background: Cervical dystonia (CD) is a debilitating neurological disorder that may gravely affect a patient’s quality of life (QoL). Botulinum toxin treatment has been approved as a first-line treatment for this condition.
